KYIV CITY MUNICIPALITY, KYIV CITY REGION, JUL 2 – The US paused shipments of advanced weapons to Ukraine due to low stockpiles after sending over $66 billion in aid, amid escalating Russian drone and missile attacks, officials said.
- Amid paused arms shipments, Zelenskyy will speak with Trump on Friday to clarify next steps, a person familiar with the matter said.
- Earlier this week, the United States paused weapons deliveries after a stockpile review, catching Kyiv and its allies off guard.
- Among the paused weapons are 155mm artillery shells and Patriot air-defense batteries, two people familiar said Tuesday, noting the inclusion of precision munitions and air defense interceptors staged in Poland.

- In the coming weeks, Ukraine and its allies will test their logistical resilience under urgent defense needs, while coordinated transatlantic pressure aims to secure a lasting resolution.
